What is Net Zero, Carbon Neutral & Carbon Negative?
Net Zero refers to the balance between the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) that’s produced and the amount that’s removed from the atmosphere. Net Zero means that any carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere from the company’s activities is balanced by an equivalent amount being removed.
Carbon neutral is slightly different, allowing companies to measure the amount of carbon they release and offset that with a reduction in emissions or a removal of carbon. This can include buying carbon credits to make up the difference, making it appealing to companies that produce a lot of emissions.
The next step – becoming carbon negative – requires a company to remove more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than it emits.

Why should businesses set Net Zero goals?
There are many reasons why organizations want to achieve Net Zero emissions. One of the most important reasons is contributing to lower pollution levels. The minimization of pollution levels lowers the impact on public health and the environment. Climate change is a major topic of today’s generation, and organizations want to play a role in hopes of staying ahead of it and reducing its effects.

What challenges may businesses encounter on their quest for Net Zero?
Many companies have set goals and commitments of achieving Net Zero, but often can be faced with challenges along the way. Some struggles may include the timespan that it takes to decarbonize. If not done in a timely manner, companies may be forced to pay government mandates. There also is a high cost in the technology used to reduce emissions effectively. That is why there are many benefits to using a services partner to help streamline the process.
